Book Synopsis
Founded around 1700 by a group of German Lutherans known as Pietists, the Halle Orphanage became the institutional headquarters of a universal seminar that still stands largely intact today. The author reveals, those teaching and training in Halle Orphanage contributed to the transformation of scientific observation and its related activities.

Trade Review
"Modernism takes many forms; what many of us thought was a credit to Pietism of the Franke school turns out to be an amalgam of differentiated Enlightenment thought. I strongly recommend reading this book and rethinking the issues." (Joanna Geyer-Kordesch, University of Glasgow)
